- Waddlepop is a member of the Sugar Shocks from BotBots.
Waddlepop was just an ordinary ice cream bar until Energon radiation brought that frozen treat to life, transforming it into an adorable robotic penguin. Now a full-fledged Transformer, Waddlepop has joined her fellow robotic confectionaries as part of the Sugar Shocks! She enjoys supporting her teammates by giving them high fives, though she'll start to melt if she's away from the freezer for too long.

[edit]- Her name appears to be a combo of "waddle" (as she's a penguin) and Paddle Pop, an ice cream popsicle brand.
- Early line-art of Waddlepop appears "inside" Clawsome's chest window, apparently as a plush version of the character available inside crane skill games.
- We would totally spend the time and effort for a Waddlepop plush.
- Waddlepop was originally slated to appear in Last Bot Standing as a member of Steeljaw's remnant faction. However, Hasbro informed Nick Roche that the BotBots were off-limits, and as a result Roche replaced Waddlepop with Moon instead.[1] At one point, Signal Lancer was also in the running. [2]
